Start using gloves, it is liberating. I don’t have to care how I touch the plate because I know I won’t leave a mark. I have a box of disposable nitrile gloves from home depot. I reuse the gloves many times. I have a pair set out for taking the plates in and out of the printer and removing the printed parts. I can put my fingers anywhere and bend the plate any way I want, so the removal is easier, faster and more comfortable.
I put out another pair for cleaning. I’m able to do a much better and more comfortable job when cleaning, because I am not trying to hold the plate at the edges but just hold it any which way, whatever is best and most comfortable for cleaning.
I wish I used gloves from the start, the experience is so much better, and I’m not exaggerating. At least that’s my experience.
In other news. My schedule got thrown out of whack! Ahh, I meant to have my lift table all finalized. It should have been out there helping uplift all y’alls moods.
Now see, someone accidently cut the tip of their finger off. I wont point fingers. It was me though, and that’s why I can’t point… I accidently cut it off. It wasn’t 3d printer related, don’t worry. Kitchen mishap.
Anyway, be careful around sharp things. Don’t get excited and forget safety first and always.
Here’s the different sizes. I know I said I’d wait on the skateboard bearing version, but nah. I’m test printing it now. I’m targeting the K1 Max and Prusa XL ones specific for the larger variants. Sorry Bambu, but until you have a large format printer yourself…!
I got the first two finished, but need to do photos and instructions.
he is not happy just trying to get us to use more filament weighing more than a human being now he wants us to purchase extra printers to print his models.
He is in bed with “big printer”.
I asked before, but, didn’t spot a response.
Do these require any special filaments or are you using PLA?
The prototype was PLA+, while the show models are PLA Metallic, Matte, and Sparkle. The skateboard bearing version I’m going to print in PETG-HF, and is what I’ll recommend to people that need function over form. The version I photographed with the weights was the PLA+ version.
Uh, I have no idea. Haha. I have 3d printed ones before, in particular, this one. Lift Table 130x100 by mishkin2 - MakerWorld and I use them just for general propping stuff up a little higher when needed. I just also enjoy it, and think it’s neat. I mean, within my files, I have it categorized under toys, so.
I think larger actual tables like this are more useful, or carts. Like moving lumber around, and being able to bring the lumber up to the workbench’s height.
@Square3D welcome to my corner of the forum! Haha.
Been enjoying posting here, chatting with everyone, and just having a spot to yammer on. It’s my little spot to show off work in progress stuff too.
Turns out it was a good idea to start trying to print up the 608 bearing version of my lift table, as it helped me catch a few issues with the overall model! Ahh, this thing is cool. I am almost finished printing up the prototype, then going to do a final one in PETG-HF.
It wasn’t 3d printer related, don’t worry. Kitchen mishap.
